Ingredients

– 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

– 1 medium onion, thinly sliced

– 1 cup cremini mushrooms, cleaned and sliced

– 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

– 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

– 1/2 cup white wine

– 1 cup chicken stock

– 1/2 cup heavy cream

– 3 cups leftover cooked turkey, chopped

– Salt and black pepper, to taste

– Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

– 4 sturdy sandwich rolls or slices of your choice of bread

Instructions

1. **Prepare the Fricassee:**

– In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat.

– Sprinkle flour over the mixture, stirring to combine, and cook for 1-2 minutes.

– Pour in white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the skillet, and let it reduce by half.

– Add chicken stock and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for 5 minutes to reduce slightly.

– Stir in heavy cream and season with salt and black pepper to taste.

– Add chopped turkey, heating through for about 5 minutes. If the mixture is too thick, add more stock or cream to reach desired consistency.
